Description

HDR image of M42. I used the Astronomik UHC filter on this image which is why some of the stars have funny colors. As you can see from the original image there`s a lot of stuff (some of which i killed by black point clipping) going on outside of the brigther structures. I will most likely do a reprocessing once i gathered more data.

Edit: Brought down the brightness of the core and adjusted the local contrast in the nebulosity to emphasize the filamentary structure.

Edit2: Reprocessed the image. This time i didn`t change the colors and i kept a lower black point.
